How research teams navigate truth-telling about healthcare inequities

Our research team is working on a study about health disparities and we can't agree on how to present findings that clearly show racial bias in treatment outcomes - some want to soften the language to ensure publication and institutional support, while others of us think watering down the truth perpetuates the very problems we're documenting. We're all committed to the work but approaching the politics very differently.
